Now obviously, in this case, that’s no problem. Five children live here, and they probably go to the local elementary school.Īt the moment, the kids need to walk to the top of the street, across, and down again. Bit by bit, you can reduce traffic all over the city (I wrote more about that here ). Suddenly, lots of people who used to drive now find their journey is quicker on public transport.
We can massively shorten the distance between people’s houses and transit stops or schools. The second, bigger reason, is to make shortcuts across an estate. That’ll help ease needless congestion caused by people on foot. The first is to give pedestrians a street crossing away from your busiest junctions. There’s two ways to use crossings strategically. Read on! Use crosswalks to reduce road traffic But there’s also a neater and more precise way to add them.
Now while we can’t remove them, there is a way we can add them without having to build a junction!Īll you need to do is upgrade the road type in one place. It seems that road and intersection textures don’t always align 100%, and the crossings hide the seam. In fairness though, I think there’s a technical limitation. It could sit amongst the existing traffic light/stop sign system. I’d love to see more control added in the future.
There are mods that let you remove them, but only the visuals. Which is good, because there’s no way of turning them off. Most of the time crosswalks just do what they do. They get added automatically at junctions and intersections. In Cities: Skylines, as in life, crosswalks (or pedestrian crossings where I’m from!) let pedestrians, cyclists and dogs get from one side of the street to the other safely.
